With the very fabric of my being,
I rise
With sheer determination,
I open my eyes
To see the wonder and the beauty
Matchless works I have not seen
For my God has shown himself faithful
Does anyone know what I mean?
Shankiea
Loud and clear
I hear
The mysteries of thy ear
And feel the wonder of sweet delight
For in faith I walk, and not by sight
Climbing up the mountain's peek
Out from the valley's deep
I rise
With sheer determination
I open my eyes
From yesterday's slumber and today's low
Into tomorrow's dreams I go
Me
Soaring like an eagle
Strong, courageous and free
Blessed of the Lord and highly favored
Yearning to serve the Lord, that's me
Crying when my sister cries
Celebrating in her times of joy
The gifts of love and encouragement
I have chosen to employ
Shankiea
My divine strength and
Celestial agility
I rise
With sheer determination
I open my eyes
Conquering my fears and
Overcoming my doubts
Energized and rejuvenated
A serene and liberated
Clay pot of femininity
Crafted by God's own hands
Me
Standing on the solid rock
I lift my head and look to the hills
Drinking in every bit of serenity
As my cup my Heavenly Father fills
With tranquility and comfort
Fortifying my being for the race
Holding me hand in hand
Taking me to my destined place
Shankiea
A place where I can be real
I can be me
I have come too far
To turn around
And too wise
To be confound
By the barriers
That surround me
Like a never ending story
I am an open book
As my climax approaches
I can feel the excitement
Of great anticipation
of what will transpire next
No time for leisure
I must remain focused
For the challenge
Is getting tougher
And the road a little rougher
The wolves are howling
As the winds begin to blow
I rise
With sheer determination
I open my eyes
To proclaim victory
In the face of tribulation
I find strength
Leaping over life's adversity
Into eternal tranquility
I find rest
Me
Feeling power
rush through my veins
Lookin' up I see the Father
Holding the reins
He holds my destiny
In the palm of His hand
My will entwined with His
His own Master plan
Pattern and weave
Purpose and design
Preordained and taken
as the most important sign
Knowin' my fate
Claimin' His glory
Taken up higher
In His will I'm soaring
A song without words
a melody in the beginning
His faithful servant forever
Forever no endings
Ness
The burdens unloaded from my weary heart
The heaviness of tears lightened by the sun light
The greatest trial ever faced disposed of
I take off with the wind into the dark night
My wings have spread
My hatred has been defused
The very catalyst that fuels the fire
Even had it's very nature skewed
Shankiea
Bamboozled, hoodwinked, and run a mock
I rise
With sheer determination
I open my eyes
God chosen, God called, and God justified
I have fought the cause
And paid the price
To be a winner requires sacrifice
The mountaintop is the vision I foresee
With wisdom, knowledge, and a clear understanding
I'm taking back what the devil stole from me
For he has tried every trick and every trade
Though a weak man I was never made
For God is my joy and my strength
And it was from Heaven I was sent
Down to earth to trial and to test
My sanctity that which separates me from the rest
Me
In the midst of the valley I prayed
By my side my Heavenly Father has stayed
Pulling me into his comfort and warmth
Even when in sin I strayed
A new beginning he granted me
Blessed me in my time of sorrow
Whispered in my ear
"My child look forward to a brighter tomorrow"
Shankiea
Mercy has left me speechless
Vesting in sure delight
My soul is rejoicing as
My spirit has been revived
God's amazing grace
Has resurrected my
Feeble decaying pottery
Restored I am with a
New beginning to fulfill forever's adventure
To worship, exalt, and adore
His name forever more
Until time equals eternity
And eternity meets me
Kneeling down before my Savior's feet
I rise
With sheer determination
I open my eyes
To a crown in glory
And streets of gold
Wings like cherubim's
Cloaked in a white robe
The covenant has been sealed
The beast laid to rest
Experiencing beams from Heaven
I know undoubtedly that I have
Indeed passed my test <<...>>
Me
For my Father has looked down
And smiled upon me
He's opened up my blind eyes
Now the victory I can see
He's given me another day
To preach and proclaim his word
My work is not done, my time's not up
Until all those around me have heard
Shankiea
The truth of His Testament
And His prophetic will
Of how Jesus will take the
Keys and affirm the seal
That He reigns over all creatures
Great and small
The supreme being in every nation
Orchestrator and finisher of all creation
Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism or Islam
Atheist or agnostic
The Almighty God is the only one
Worthy to be exalted
The one who created the Heavens and the earth
The one who made the cool winds blow & waters be still
The one who gave David the ability to conquer giants
The one who kept Daniel in the lion's den
The one who is the great "I AM"
Yes, He is my provider
He's my protection
My peace
My leaning post
My strong tower
My wheel in the middle of a wheel
He's my healer
He's my comforter
He's my Lord of Lords and King of Kings
My Jehovah, the one and only God, "I AM"
Jesus Christ, the "Holy One"
Even through terrorists attacks
And disaster's ugly blow
Still unto Him all honor and glory
I will continue to show
For He has proven faithful unto me
Time and time again
For ever since I was created
By Satan and his army I was hated
So, I say to the enemy of his attacks
On that tragic and evil day 09-11-01
If you thought you raised havoc
And caused unforgettable pain
Then you'd better think again because
The war you started has just began
As I have just suited up
And have taken my place
Now the Armour of God you are about to face
With righteousness as my breastplate
you are no match,
And the gospel of peace at my feet
you cannot tarry,
Shielded by faith all you fiery darts
I am able to quench
Armed and loosed with the sword of the Spirit
And the word of God as my protective helmet
Total annihilation is the result of my victory
And the ailment of your demise; therefore,
I rise
With sheer determination
I open my eyes (okay can someone else please take it) <<...>>
Me
From the dust
The filth he has washed away
Made me whole and snow white clean
Took all my sin and guilt away
Who are you to hold me down?
I once was lost but now I'm found
I labor and one day I will get a crown
When I hear the Holy trumpets sound
I'm here not for you
But for my Lord who has made me
To be a vessel he can use
Utilizing that which he gave me
My momma prayed
My daddy prayed deep in the night
But they couldn't save me
Couldn't bring me to this new height
It was God Almighty
Who wiped away these tears
Mended my fragile heart
That had been wounded for many years
Shankiea
Yet still I rise
With sheer determination I open my eyes
To behold the beauty
The magnificence and rarity
of the beautiful precious Rock
I call JHV
And still I rise
Far and beyond the boundaries set
By man's own limitations
By man's own sweat
And with proud
Deliberate sweeps of faith
I walk on water
And calm storms in His name
Ness
